Some funny shit there bloke (to pardon the pun!!) but I don't think you will have to get in blondy's head on friday he has already f****d it up as he always peaks too early.
When you mention competition for the jacket lets talk about a real contender Matt (buzz) Marks. He popped in the gym last night after a knock at the range, he's comming in tonight to pump up his guns, that man is fired up. I'm sure that BUZZ LIGHTYEAR BEATS MR POTATO HEAD IN TOY STORY?
Storage! That reminds me in regards to wacka's trophy cabinet, I could do with a new shed knockin up in my garden for my tools. Do you think wacka will oblige?
The big news is that Jay the Croot has pulled out of the BGO due to work comittments, I can't believe it, me and him only had a chat last week about work life balance, F***in Wa*k*r!!
Such is the size of the bgo,it was on the news and there was a que at my door last night and his place has been filled.
Might be more to do with his handicap cut from 26 to 19......ouch!!
S'Devy, some good points there my continental brothS'Devy, some good points there my continental brother, in reference to the point about HOUSE, you have no chance what so ever, BINS got sky, which fuck’s everything up as far as I’m concerned. You mentioned about HOUSE having 6 shots extra, but this is also not the case, he has 6 shots and the KEY’s, which is something we all need to consider. Which brings me nicely onto my next point, “WHAT THE FUCK IS PADDY ON ABOUT” Wednesfield, I don’t live anywhere near there. It would appear that it the aftermath of BGO 9 (Wergs) a few peoples heads have been up there arse. Pair of scissors good call, S’DEVY, always impress me Devy with your dynamic thinking, “thinking, dancing son”.
Lads i already feel fuckin shit about havin to pull out of fridays B.G.O at the belfrey.Due to my new job i have to go in other wise i have worked all week for nothin.Now i know alot of you do that ever week TUNASS,so hope ever one has a good game on friday.My tip for the title is either my brother or thommo so dont let me down.
Thanx jay, its nice to hear some sense on here at last, although your bro has no feckin chance of lifting anything other a 3 foot divot from the fairway on friday.
hes had his good round for the month and will blow up under the pressure as always!
my moneys on Buzz Lightyear, hes a feckin brilliant golfer, ive never seen such a near perfected swing. if he dont win, then maybe fat wacka with his wild man of barneo swing, if he can keep it straight, and uses his new toy i gave him, he will be there or there abouts. the only other contender is mcshermer, if he can get his game head on, and leave his phone at home then hes also a possible. myself i will just turn up, pay me money and have a nice relaxing day, hopefully i will keep it tight ( my arseole). and maybe lick a few, and as long as the wind dont get hold of too many i might break 20 points.
so if anyone wants a side bet of say five english pounds, see me on the day, ha ha ha
thomo, thanks for the compliments pal, im well up for it, im sittin here in the dressing room now after just kickin arsenals arse (yes it was me in goal) hopefully i should be back in blighty in time for tee off on friday morning, winking star and all, yours truly
oh yeh, by the way, anyone whos ordered a bgs shirt, ive got them now at my gaff so if anyone wants theirs before friday let me know and we can sort somethin out
Blokes I am writing this in anticipation of what will hopefully be a memorable day out at the Belfry on Friday.
As far as winning the Jacket on Friday I believe there are a handful of players who realistically have a chance of winning and the rest of us are just turning up for the crack.
The fact that is a long course must put the big hitters in with the greatest chance. Wacka, Jay Croot, Andy Sharma, Adam Shermer,Wayne Dwyer, Ben Crout and Mark Thomas must all be serious contenders.
Thomas, is playing his chances down but like his compardrey Andy Sharma has been consistent and close on a number of occasions and both players are sure to be in the top 10 by the end of play. Thomas top 5.
Resident pro Wayne Dwyer has probably been the most consistent player on tour but will find it difficult to find the additional 5 or 6 points to put him in contention.
Previous Jacket hoders Jay and Ben Croot on their day both have what it takes to repeat their victories of 2007.
Jay is in a good vein of form at the moment but will have to wait till bristol as he has been forced to pull out.
Brother Ben has also been finding better form of late and has been scoring consistently in the mid 30's off 22. However he faces a stiffer challenge at the Belfrey as he will start 4 shots worse off so a top 10 finsh will probably be more realistic.
Adam Shermer who also held the Jacket in 2007 will certainly be a top 10 finisher and if he can retain his concentration will definatly go close maybe 1st or 2nd.
Jacket holder Rob Walker will definaly be a short price as consistently scores high thirties and hits the ball a long way. He will have too raise his game a little due to his cut to 12 but a top 3 finish is almost a certainty.
Hat-trick Jacket holder Matt Marks dispite his poor start to the 2008 season should not be overlooked. He has proven his ability off low handicaps and will be certain to raise his game a Britains home of golf.
In addition to the above Sapey winner S D'vey should not be totally ruled out but with a further handicap cut this course may be too long for the wee man and based on his form a top ten finsh may be an achivement.
Outsiders for a top 3 finish should not forget Dave Watkins and Gary Handley who have both had consistent starts to 2008. Chris Bruerton can also go well based on his top four finish in 2007's order of merrit but he will have to pull out all the stops due to his lack of practice.

Friday there needs to be some tight shit at the belfry, elbow's in gentlemen. I think THOMO (tipon shitter) has played far to much golf this week to be in contention, however Ronnie Cooper on the other hand is a silent assassin. Strong possibility of him taking the jacket. I will be turning up hopefully with my "A" game, it's a big day and a big event, some say pressure is for tires but we will see on Friday, wheather or not this is the case.
I will be down Swindon this afternoon for a 3:20 tee off. The purpose of the round is to dust out the cobwebbs.
The Belfry is a very unforgiving course, anything less than your "A" game and your either in SAND, WATER and on both accounts shit. I would like to take this opportunity to take the time to wish everyone playing Friday "Good Luck and God Speed", enjoy the day.
That banter is great....compliments abound too...I have a feeling this is people playing down their own nerves.....Bumholes are starting to breath I fear. My money personally is on Matt Marks...he is waiting in the shadows, silent but deadly I fear! Can I second Ben's words and wish you all a the best of luck for tomorrow and to date; The biggest event in the BGS's short history.
was that a nutmuck stain on tomos sari (sorry) trousers? great day lads as ever reyna reigned in the rain. all this top quality shite without the assistance of breaker!
jelous basterds, you know i looked the bollox, you will all be searching for new colourfull outfits for the next bgo.im the ian poulter of the society.goodlooking,great fashion sense,and not a bad golfer on my day.so be prepared for a new brighter outfit intime for the next one...im thinking lemmon or lime? congrats to Buzz I DID ACTUALLY TIP HIM FOR THE WIN. Question time now. why has tunass gone on a village people themed wekend, dressed as a desert storm soldier? why was ginger ste 20 mins late for his tee time? Has Paddy been havin lessons from blonde? has the entire golf society been dipping into the Ronfam appeal donation sack(except me) ive never seen such a bunch of scruffs?
Tunas, did you manage to get any photo's of those 2ft square divots (about a dozen of then) on about the 13th hole. said to have been created by a german? did Charlie manage to finnish his sand castle in the bunker (said to replicate edinburgh castle how long he spent in there) could that have beaten gravey's 18 shots.
I'm sure i have just seen Mr patel playing in Augusta, does he know thats the American open and not the BGS, feckin tw*t nav. (my mistake it's Vejay Sing.
Even Garvey's dad is now participating in the Ronfam appeal, as Ron was seen leaving his house with a pair of step ladders, f**k nows how he will wear those.
congrats to previous tree bummers for getting out of the woods and putting in respectable rounds in at the belfy.
IF! tomo the tipton trumpeter does eventually win the coveted green jacket could the BGO commitee swap it for a trumpet as he definatley likes to blow his own
i second that, alot of effort goes into organising these events and the commitee do a great job, nice one to every one who turned up, awesome day lads!!!!
im not really looking forward to the next bgo, my golf has gone to shit.i only seem to score well when i play alone!!!! funny that eh.
as for blowing my own trumpet i've been able to do that since i was a teenager, following a skateboarding accident. i had to have 2 lower ribs removed.hence why im so bendy
What i would like on this site is something a little more serious. THE RULES OF GOLF as after playing with quite a few members now it is apparrant that some people still do not know the rules of golf now why you may think im being a little anal, i think if we want to be taken seriousley we all need to be singing from the same hymn book.
First rule which ive noticed gets forgotton is if you lose your ball, you play your next shot from where you played your last shot. not where you think it would ave gone, or around here somewhere. if you do that you dont score on that hole. this also applies to shots out of bounds out of bounds means unplayable so if you think you might have gone ob, then play a provisional.otherwise you dont score on that hole.
Rule 2.Also air shots they count, if you dont count them, you are cheating
Rule 3.the ball must go in the hole in competition there are NO GIMMIES. you must finish the hole.
Rule 4. who ever is furthest away from the hole shoots first everyone else stands still and is quiet.
Rule 5. everyone must mark someone elses card not your own. you a counting their strokes and they are scoring yours that way theres no mis-counting, also please fill in stableford scores its not rocket science:
4 points net eagle 3 points net birdie 2 points net par 1 points net bogie anything bigger no score,if you reach 8 shots you are not going to score and should pick up, it saves a lot of time and speeds up play.
sorry if you think im being a trifle snobbish, stuck up etc. and i know a lot of you are only there for a laugh but it needs to be adressed. if you are unsure ask someone more experienced. its the best way to learn by playing the game correctly . i know the committee is trying to arrange matchplay events against other societies. they will wipe the floor with us because they Will pick you up on any errors in play, and you Will get disqualified.
if anyone wants a copy of the current R & A rule book, i will bring to next event , ive got a few and can get more if required
hats offto the gents at the top table. bostin day friday , appreciate your efforts lads cuz most of would still be scratchin our arses about weer to gu. cheers lads . rod thelongdriver
I'm must say there are some questions flying about on the blog. "Could anybody please explain ste ginjar Richards" I believe is one question. This question is unanswerable as the man in question is possibly the biggest manifest of a liability that I have ever seen or had the pleasure of dealing with. The man has issues not just with Golf, but life.
Thomo, I’m officially dropping you as my coach as you dress like a KNOB. Lemon and Lime more like lager and lime, what a fanny. Gentlemen he calls us scuff’s; I must say I didn't see anyone else turn up in seconds, just Thomo. And to clear a point about him winning the jacket, this will never happen; he seems to have a problem with his BUM on the big stage.
Paddy glad to see the lessons paid off, you are now officially digging bigger holes than me.
S Devy has put in a bad performance at the Belfry going from a 39 and 37 to a 21. I hope this does not affect his golf for the remainder of the year, as there is a hungry pack forming behind.
yes ben 39, 37, 21 you are correct and there well be a pack forming also correct, however the dewsters form has been poor of late but plans have been put into action to alter this by the way whats your bgo scores for this term [ just a thought ].
thommo you obviously think your above and beond our golf society with your fancy [ erm ] dress and your tactful comments on peoples knowledge of the game when they have only been playing 6 to 8 months and not the 10 years experience you can draw on. tut tut tipton boy keep that trumpet close to hand you might have to play it if no one talks to ya at the next bgo cause they think your picking on em !!!
tunnass quality day at the belfry son, fair play to you and all the lads that organise these events credit to your good self by the way how did the marine costume go down in cardiff for the village people thing oh i forgot there wor an army bloke in the village people was there c,mon do ya homework son.
richards? what can i say the man cracks me up. why? cause like me the man does not give a fuck hence his running about all the gaffe shouting "fuck it" 20 mins late for his tee off not good for the other lads but in true richards style sheer quality " bloke i was down the range knocking it about wor i"
anyway boys looking forward to bristol for what promises to be another cracking day out
au contraire my boy not on the warpath at all just stating a few facts. the frenchman holds no grudges and does not have ownership of a white flag of any sort.
Trumpet boy here! i seem to have ruffled a few french feathers, i make no excuses for my tirade as i only spake the truth. trouble is the truth hurts.
as i explained earlier, THE R & A Rules of Golf, available free to all members of Swindon gc, so why dont you get one D'VEY(SAPEY CHAMP). as by your own admission you was unaware that a ball going out of bounds, needs to be replayed from where the last ball Was played and not where you think you last saw it.OR ELSE YOU DONT SCORE!
Anyway last time i looked this was a blog, invented for discussion and banter, as i seem to be the only one with concerns over the credit worthyness of winning a competition on the BGO. ill refrain from mentioning any other infringements again.....
PS. big thanks to the commitee for all your support.
I must say that I do agree with the point made by THOMO about the rules. Obviously we have golfers playing that have played for years and golfers that have played for months. So the understanding of the rules will be different. Not getting to anal about the issue but it does need addressing. The BGS committee will be meeting over the next week or so to discuss how basic rules can be introduced, for instance, air shots, drop shots, points of relief. The thinking is that if we can introduce a few rules at a time people will take them onboard. If at any point throughout a game people are unsure as what to do, just ask another member, at least then the point has been raised. In preparation for the next BGO at Bristol, each member will be issued with a rule book which they can keep on them at all times whilst on the course, if any issues arise they can always refer to the Rules of Golf.
Thomo, thanks for bringing this up it does need addressing and the BGS committee will be looking into how best to deploy to the members.
Mmmmmmmm sapey champion [s.d'vey ] here right lets put a few things right? 1) can i just say i hope this blog dont turn into a slagging match lets keep it clean lads its supposed to be a laugh!
2)thommo, no french feathers ruffled here son, i appreciate your experienced advice you are correct i was unaware of the afore mentioned rule however as i cant recall dropping any shots at sapey [ ask p.wildman } i dont think it has a bearing on the result.
3) blonde, indeed ref to the phone conversation on friday afternoon i will be joining you on sunday for a friendly round and e few cheeky's on the terrace.
4) great idea to introduce a few rules to the bgo im sure it will benefit all concerned
5) this is supposed to be fun lads so lets enjoy it and keep up the banter
first of all i come in peace !!!! can i just say that golf is a self regulating game,played by gentlemen against gentlemen.there's a lot of oppertunities to cheat in golf and we can't and shouldn't have to keep an eye on how someones marked their cards or played the game to see if they are cheating.so come on lads learn the rules and stick to them, we are adults and should endeavor to learn the rules of the game to the best of our knowledge, I know a lot of lads on this society have only just started playing the game but rules are rules,if in doubt ask, after all we all want to have a great game of golf and win, without the doubt in the clubhouse afterwards. sorry about the rant and i'm not backing up thommo 'cus he's my mate 'CUS HE'S A FUCKIN WANKER !!!!!
D'vey, i wasn't suggesting that you may have won at sapey undeservingly, but that even yourself who was a winner was unaware of one of the fundamental rules of golf. this shows how the society needs to adress the issue of members not knowing the basic rules of golf.WE are mates and play together at swindon and are used to giving each other banter, its part of golf. so we can give each other shit on here with out either taking it seriousley you red faced fucker you.
Now i know a good 50% of the members know the majority of the rules, but they seem reluctant to approach the subject with the members that dont for fear of upsetting them/falling out.
I think if the commitee draw up a table with some of the basics on, regarding relief etc. and hand out with scorecards we would all benefit, and on that note i too will be playing at swindon this afternoon, weather permitting, and intend to take a fistfull of cheeky fivers of all who attend..
Ok, after reading the comments about rules and peoples knowledge of the game can I suggest a few pointers>
Thommo, the rule breaking you refer to, I agree that some basic instruction is needed for all, not just beginers. The sheet with the most commonly used rulings should be put on paper for people to peruse. That said, I agree with Wacka in that this is a gentlemens game and self policing. I think maybe you could concentrate on your own game and not so much the unexperienced memebers in relation to you winning an event? Just a thought my good man.
With regards to us all being scruffs....Not really nice is it - or gentlemanly, a pre-requisite of golf and an unspoken rule....one of which I'm sure you are aware of.
Brendon, the meeting this week is much needed after reading these comments. Some peoples views are rather forthright, admittedly with some reasonable points in there.
S'Dvey....I take my hat off to you for handling your comments in a proffessional and gentlemanly way.
Tunnass......THE VILLAGE PEOPLE? What is going on!
Rollerboots, firstly regarding my comment on scruffs, its called irony, banter a joke, FFS i was aving a laugh, as you will av noticed from my attire at the belfry im a joker.i thought we as men could take the piss out of each other and laugh about it together.i was wrong!!!
regarding me bringing to light some obvious misgivings on the rules of golf. feel free to ignore anything ive mentioned, the rules of golf are available free to anyone who can be bothered to read them, i just thought a few basic ones could be mentioned so as we could all play the same game with the same goalposts. obviousley this is very bad of me as too many people have took exception to what i have said, in future anyone who wants to play golf by their rules ,feel free. i dont give a shit.My thoughts were that the society wanted to progress and to compete with other societies at matchplay events. as a member of another society i had been approached to arrange such an event this summer. but now it will not happen, as i dont want the embarrassment of someone being called a cheat because they are unaware of a basic ruling.
anyway on that note i bid you goodday.. ive got a trumpet lesson in half an hour and need some practice.
Now now, you talk about banter and a joke yet you obviously are getting upset at receiving some in return.....I too was playing along with this Banter. I accept your views and yes I think it a very good idea that everyone knows the rules. If you read my previous post you would see that in black and white. Good god man....you are the centre of what appears to be a wasps nest of insults, slander and general piss takes.....Relax....purse those lips and blow gently on your trumpet.
just thought i would put people in the picture regarding handicaps. Jay croot and Steven D'evy will both be playing off a 19 handicap i believe at the next BGO in bristol. This is due to them both obtaining handicaps with there respective clubs. The way it works out is
Club handicap - 20% = u2 are fucked
Come on Britsol
Wacka, Andy thanks for the fivers yesterday me and the trumpet enjoyed wiping the floor with you
Blond
Non disclaimer: if the above banter should harm, upset or cause people discomfort well then fuck off you bunch of wankers.
is everybody going on tunass,s stag do at gleneagles ? but this is all depending mrs tunass saying yes! it was a very romantic setting in the lake district by all accounts
COULD EVERYONE PLEASE REFRAIN FROM SWEARING, SHOUTING (CAPSLOCK ON),PISS TAKING,AND BASICALLY COMMENTING ON ANYTHING WITHOUT FIRST RUNNING IT PAST THE COMMITEE, AS ITS THEIR BALL AND IF YOU DONT PLAY FAIR THEY'RE TAKING IT HOME..YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED...
Hello. This post is likeable, and your blog is very interesting, congratulations :-). I will add in my blogroll =). If possible gives a last there on my blog, it is about the Massagem, I hope you enjoy. The address is http://massagem-brasil.blogspot.com. A hug.
As we move within a week of the next BGO I was wondering if anyone has got any questions of comments.
It is 1 year since the BGO had its first meet with 5 non golfers playing off high 30's handicaps, hacking their way round Woodlands Golf Club.
I personally have quite a few memorable moments from the past year.
Such as our resident Frenchman S D'vey using his one and only phone call to call the BGO from his prison cell. Still making tee off after his release. What about Ronfam man who only wanted to come if he could play with his bumchum Pat Wildman.
What about the fab four ball at Sapey who didn't hit 100yards off the tee between them. I could reminice all day.
If anyone can add to the collection it would be great to conclude on a few highs and lows next week.
Tunass one of my highlights for the 1st year of the BGO has to be the memory of Ste Richards and Jay Croot hacking down a tree with what ever they could find, so that Jay could get a full swing, later when questioned Jay laughed and Ste said fuck it.
What about the time when woko's ledgitamcy in the uk was thrown into question
or when it took Tree bummer of the year Lee Smith 3 to get past the yellow tee.
Did I also hear that Neil Lee was spotted retrieving his ball from a caravan site at st Thomas priory and Did Sharkey put one in the hole from 80 yards on the 18th on the same trip.
DEAN WEBB one of the gornal boys thanks for making us so welcome into your Society.BIG MISTAKE!!!!!!because its coming home, the jackets coming home to GORNAL! Great Year Guys enjoyed the golf and here's to another great year ahead.

Question time now.
why has tunass gone on a village people themed wekend, dressed as a desert storm soldier?
why was ginger ste 20 mins late for his tee time?
Has Paddy been havin lessons from blonde?
has the entire golf society been dipping into the Ronfam appeal donation sack(except me) ive never seen such a bunch of scruffs?
Tunas, did you manage to get any photo's of those 2ft square divots (about a dozen of then) on about the 13th hole. said to have been created by a german? did Charlie manage to finnish his sand castle in the bunker (said to replicate edinburgh castle how long he spent in there) could that have beaten gravey's 18 shots.
I'm sure i have just seen Mr patel playing in Augusta, does he know thats the American open and not the BGS, feckin tw*t nav. (my mistake it's Vejay Sing.
Even Garvey's dad is now participating in the Ronfam appeal, as Ron was seen leaving his house with a pair of step ladders, f**k nows how he will wear those.
congrats to previous tree bummers for getting out of the woods and putting in respectable rounds in at the belfy.
IF! tomo the tipton trumpeter does eventually win the coveted green jacket could the BGO commitee swap it for a trumpet as he definatley likes to blow his own
could anybody please explain ste ginjar richards? drugs?
black country bugle boy been blowing it again ?
Big up to Tunass and the rest of the commitee excellent day out lots of hard work in the organizing of the event.
i second that, alot of effort goes into organising these events and the commitee do a great job, nice one to every one who turned up, awesome day lads!!!!
im not really looking forward to the next bgo, my golf has gone to shit.i only seem to score well when i play alone!!!! funny that eh.
as for blowing my own trumpet i've been able to do that since i was a teenager, following a skateboarding accident. i had to have 2 lower ribs removed.hence why im so bendy
What i would like on this site is something a little more serious. THE RULES OF GOLF as after playing with quite a few members now it is apparrant that some people still do not know the rules of golf now why you may think im being a little anal, i think if we want to be taken seriousley we all need to be singing from the same hymn book.
First rule which ive noticed gets forgotton is if you lose your ball, you play your next shot from where you played your last shot. not where you think it would ave gone, or around here somewhere. if you do that you dont score on that hole. this also applies to shots out of bounds out of bounds means unplayable so if you think you might have gone ob, then play a provisional.otherwise you dont score on that hole.
Rule 2.Also air shots they count, if you dont count them, you are cheating
Rule 3.the ball must go in the hole in competition there are NO GIMMIES. you must finish the hole.
Rule 4. who ever is furthest away from the hole shoots first everyone else stands still and is quiet.
Rule 5. everyone must mark someone elses card not your own. you a counting their strokes and they are scoring yours that way theres no mis-counting, also please fill in stableford scores its not rocket science:
4 points net eagle
3 points net birdie
2 points net par
1 points net bogie
anything bigger no score,if you reach 8 shots you are not going to score and should pick up, it saves a lot of time and speeds up play.
sorry if you think im being a trifle snobbish, stuck up etc. and i know a lot of you are only there for a laugh but it needs to be adressed. if you are unsure ask someone more experienced. its the best way to learn by playing the game correctly . i know the committee is trying to arrange matchplay events against other societies. they will wipe the floor with us because they Will pick you up on any errors in play, and you Will get disqualified.
if anyone wants a copy of the current R & A rule book, i will bring to next event , ive got a few and can get more if required
hats offto the gents at the top table. bostin day friday , appreciate your efforts lads cuz most of would still be scratchin our arses about weer to gu. cheers lads . rod thelongdriver
I'm must say there are some questions flying about on the blog. "Could anybody please explain ste ginjar Richards" I believe is one question. This question is unanswerable as the man in question is possibly the biggest manifest of a liability that I have ever seen or had the pleasure of dealing with. The man has issues not just with Golf, but life.
Thomo, I’m officially dropping you as my coach as you dress like a KNOB. Lemon and Lime more like lager and lime, what a fanny. Gentlemen he calls us scuff’s; I must say I didn't see anyone else turn up in seconds, just Thomo. And to clear a point about him winning the jacket, this will never happen; he seems to have a problem with his BUM on the big stage.
Paddy glad to see the lessons paid off, you are now officially digging bigger holes than me.
S Devy has put in a bad performance at the Belfry going from a 39 and 37 to a 21. I hope this does not affect his golf for the remainder of the year, as there is a hungry pack forming behind.
Until the next time
Blond
yes ben 39, 37, 21 you are correct and there well be a pack forming also correct, however the dewsters form has been poor of late but plans have been put into action to alter this by the way whats your bgo scores for this term [ just a thought ].
thommo you obviously think your above and beond our golf society with your fancy [ erm ] dress and your tactful comments on peoples knowledge of the game when they have only been playing 6 to 8 months and not the 10 years experience you can draw on. tut tut tipton boy keep that trumpet close to hand you might have to play it if no one talks to ya at the next bgo cause they think your picking on em !!!
tunnass quality day at the belfry son, fair play to you and all the lads that organise these events credit to your good self by the way how did the marine costume go down in cardiff for the village people thing oh i forgot there wor an army bloke in the village people was there c,mon do ya homework son.
richards? what can i say the man cracks me up. why? cause like me the man does not give a fuck hence his running about all the gaffe shouting "fuck it" 20 mins late for his tee off not good for the other lads but in true richards style sheer quality " bloke i was down the range knocking it about wor i"
anyway boys looking forward to bristol for what promises to be another cracking day out

sacre bleu our resident french president iz on ze warpath. makes a change 4 the frogs fust sign of conflict and zer on zer toes!
au contraire my boy not on the warpath at all just stating a few facts. the frenchman holds no grudges and does not have ownership of a white flag of any sort.

i think we should count points at the end of the year as points mean shit at the moment, but come the end of the year points mean prices!
On a more serious note S'Devy i'm at our club on sunday afternoon, if you fancy joining me on the course and later on our terrace.
The invite goes out to all if anyone fancies a game sunday afternoon, give me a bell
Blond
Trumpet boy here! i seem to have ruffled a few french feathers, i make no excuses for my tirade as i only spake the truth. trouble is the truth hurts.
as i explained earlier, THE R & A Rules of Golf, available free to all members of Swindon gc, so why dont you get one D'VEY(SAPEY CHAMP). as by your own admission you was unaware that a ball going out of bounds, needs to be replayed from where the last ball Was played and not where you think you last saw it.OR ELSE YOU DONT SCORE!
Anyway last time i looked this was a blog, invented for discussion and banter, as i seem to be the only one with concerns over the credit worthyness of winning a competition on the BGO. ill refrain from mentioning any other infringements again.....
PS. big thanks to the commitee for all your support.
Blokes
I must say that I do agree with the point made by THOMO about the rules. Obviously we have golfers playing that have played for years and golfers that have played for months. So the understanding of the rules will be different. Not getting to anal about the issue but it does need addressing. The BGS committee will be meeting over the next week or so to discuss how basic rules can be introduced, for instance, air shots, drop shots, points of relief. The thinking is that if we can introduce a few rules at a time people will take them onboard. If at any point throughout a game people are unsure as what to do, just ask another member, at least then the point has been raised. In preparation for the next BGO at Bristol, each member will be issued with a rule book which they can keep on them at all times whilst on the course, if any issues arise they can always refer to the Rules of Golf.
Thomo, thanks for bringing this up it does need addressing and the BGS committee will be looking into how best to deploy to the members.
Blond
does that rule book come in audio? cuz we are dealing with plantlife in some corners of brerdley
BLONDE I CANT SEE YOU OH YES I CAN I CAN SEE YOUR TOENAILS HANGING OUT OF THOMMO'S ARSEHOLE.
S'DVEY WHY THE RED FACE IS IT CUS YOUR ANGRY WITH TRUMPET BOY!
TRUMPET BOY HAS S. D'VEY BEEN OVERLOOKING A RULE OR TWO ?
AND WHY OH WHY DWYER DONT GET A HAIRCUT IS JUST MADNESS AINT HE GOT MIRRORS?
Mmmmmmmm sapey champion [s.d'vey ]
here right lets put a few things right?
1) can i just say i hope this blog dont turn into a slagging match lets keep it clean lads its supposed to be a laugh!
2)thommo, no french feathers ruffled here son, i appreciate your experienced advice you are correct i was unaware of the afore mentioned rule however as i cant recall dropping any shots at sapey [ ask p.wildman } i dont think it has a bearing on the result.
3) blonde, indeed ref to the phone conversation on friday afternoon i will be joining you on sunday for a friendly round and e few cheeky's on the terrace.
4) great idea to introduce a few rules to the bgo im sure it will benefit all concerned
5) this is supposed to be fun lads so lets enjoy it and keep up the banter
THE RESIDENT FRENCHMAN
S.D'VEY ( SAPEY CHAMP }
first of all i come in peace !!!!
can i just say that golf is a self regulating game,played by gentlemen against gentlemen.there's a lot of oppertunities to cheat in golf and we can't and shouldn't have to keep an eye on how someones marked their cards or played the game to see if they are cheating.so come on lads learn the rules and stick to them, we are adults and should endeavor to learn the rules of the game to the best of our knowledge, I know a lot of lads on this society have only just started playing the game but rules are rules,if in doubt ask, after all we all want to have a great game of golf and win, without the doubt in the clubhouse afterwards.
sorry about the rant and i'm not backing up thommo 'cus he's my mate 'CUS HE'S A FUCKIN WANKER !!!!!
D'vey, i wasn't suggesting that you may have won at sapey undeservingly, but that even yourself who was a winner was unaware of one of the fundamental rules of golf. this shows how the society needs to adress the issue of members not knowing the basic rules of golf.WE are mates and play together at swindon and are used to giving each other banter, its part of golf. so we can give each other shit on here with out either taking it seriousley you red faced fucker you.
Now i know a good 50% of the members know the majority of the rules, but they seem reluctant to approach the subject with the members that dont for fear of upsetting them/falling out.
I think if the commitee draw up a table with some of the basics on, regarding relief etc. and hand out with scorecards we would all benefit, and on that note i too will be playing at swindon this afternoon, weather permitting, and intend to take a fistfull of cheeky fivers of all who attend..
tommo
Ok, after reading the comments about rules and peoples knowledge of the game can I suggest a few pointers>
Thommo, the rule breaking you refer to, I agree that some basic instruction is needed for all, not just beginers. The sheet with the most commonly used rulings should be put on paper for people to peruse. That said, I agree with Wacka in that this is a gentlemens game and self policing. I think maybe you could concentrate on your own game and not so much the unexperienced memebers in relation to you winning an event? Just a thought my good man.
With regards to us all being scruffs....Not really nice is it - or gentlemanly, a pre-requisite of golf and an unspoken rule....one of which I'm sure you are aware of.
Brendon, the meeting this week is much needed after reading these comments. Some peoples views are rather forthright, admittedly with some reasonable points in there.
S'Dvey....I take my hat off to you for handling your comments in a proffessional and gentlemanly way.
Tunnass......THE VILLAGE PEOPLE? What is going on!
Rollerboots, firstly regarding my comment on scruffs, its called irony, banter a joke, FFS i was aving a laugh, as you will av noticed from my attire at the belfry im a joker.i thought we as men could take the piss out of each other and laugh about it together.i was wrong!!!
regarding me bringing to light some obvious misgivings on the rules of golf. feel free to ignore anything ive mentioned, the rules of golf are available free to anyone who can be bothered to read them, i just thought a few basic ones could be mentioned so as we could all play the same game with the same goalposts. obviousley this is very bad of me as too many people have took exception to what i have said, in future anyone who wants to play golf by their rules ,feel free. i dont give a shit.My thoughts were that the society wanted to progress and to compete with other societies at matchplay events. as a member of another society i had been approached to arrange such an event this summer. but now it will not happen, as i dont want the embarrassment of someone being called a cheat because they are unaware of a basic ruling.
anyway on that note i bid you goodday.. ive got a trumpet lesson in half an hour and need some practice.
Now now, you talk about banter and a joke yet you obviously are getting upset at receiving some in return.....I too was playing along with this Banter.
I accept your views and yes I think it a very good idea that everyone knows the rules. If you read my previous post you would see that in black and white.
Good god man....you are the centre of what appears to be a wasps nest of insults, slander and general piss takes.....Relax....purse those lips and blow gently on your trumpet.
Blokes
just thought i would put people in the picture regarding handicaps. Jay croot and Steven D'evy will both be playing off a 19 handicap i believe at the next BGO in bristol. This is due to them both obtaining handicaps with there respective clubs. The way it works out is
Club handicap - 20% = u2 are fucked
Come on Britsol
Wacka, Andy thanks for the fivers yesterday me and the trumpet enjoyed wiping the floor with you
Blond
Non disclaimer: if the above banter should harm, upset or cause people discomfort well then fuck off you bunch of wankers.
is everybody going on tunass,s stag do at gleneagles ? but this is all depending mrs tunass saying yes! it was a very romantic setting in the lake district by all accounts
are we wearing kilts or farahs?
SKIRTS YOU BUNCH OF GIRLS!!
COULD EVERYONE PLEASE REFRAIN FROM SWEARING, SHOUTING (CAPSLOCK ON),PISS TAKING,AND BASICALLY COMMENTING ON ANYTHING WITHOUT FIRST RUNNING IT PAST THE COMMITEE, AS ITS THEIR BALL AND IF YOU DONT PLAY FAIR THEY'RE TAKING IT HOME..YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED...
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHO GAY GORDON IS, AS HES BEEN A TAD QUIET OF LATE.. MIND YOU BIG JAYS GOT A NEW JOB AND IS VERY BUSY AT THE MOMENT..... :-)

As we move within a week of the next BGO I was wondering if anyone has got any questions of comments.
It is 1 year since the BGO had its first meet with 5 non golfers playing off high 30's handicaps, hacking their way round Woodlands Golf Club.
I personally have quite a few memorable moments from the past year.
Such as our resident Frenchman S D'vey using his one and only phone call to call the BGO from his prison cell. Still making tee off after his release. What about Ronfam man who only wanted to come if he could play with his bumchum Pat Wildman.
What about the fab four ball at Sapey who didn't hit 100yards off the tee between them. I could reminice all day.
If anyone can add to the collection it would be great to conclude on a few highs and lows next week.
Tunass one of my highlights for the 1st year of the BGO has to be the memory of Ste Richards and Jay Croot hacking down a tree with what ever they could find, so that Jay could get a full swing, later when questioned Jay laughed and Ste said fuck it.
Quality moments
Blond
What about the time when woko's ledgitamcy in the uk was thrown into question
or when it took Tree bummer of the year Lee Smith 3 to get past the yellow tee.
Did I also hear that Neil Lee was spotted retrieving his ball from a caravan site at st Thomas priory and Did Sharkey put one in the hole from 80 yards on the 18th on the same trip.
is blonde blowing trumpets bugle?
who thinks Tunass looks like fabrigas with a thyroid problem?
when are we going to see Dwyer claret jugs?
how can anyone be stuck up from TIPton dressing like a stick of rock
The rules of the BGS is lets enjoy the crack
